Can of worms

Jib cards again. spoke to them again today told them I've got Nvq 2 & 3 in plumbing 6019 an she said oh you can have our top band card which is gold. but gas service engineers only can have a blue & white one.

I think that puts to bed all that crap about gas service engineers being more qualified than a plumber.

Yes but any Gas Enginner can work on Plumbing not any Plumber can work on Gas.

 

[Boilerman2]

Unless they have NVQ2 or 3 in Gas Engineering

 

[mrgas]

No matter what your NVQ is in you have to remember that NVQ does stand for NOT VERY QUALIFIED

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

yes but dont forget if a gas engineer fails his acs in five years what is he qualified to do exactly

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

if i ever failed mine, am still a "low life plumber"

 

[Gasman28]

You mean Gas Fitters; Gas Technicians if you like.
They'ree not Engineers, despite what BG like to tell the gullible public.

But they can still install it be it good or bad, NVQ plumbers CANNOT work on gas

so what alot of plumbers can't do tiling but they fit bathrooms but i don't go round putting them down.

 

[nogoodatfaultfinding]

whoooah who has got your goat?

Most of us including me do not call ourselves engineers however when a employer is looking for one of us lot thats what THEY put not fitter, Technichian or any other term you want.

However i have never seen a job advertised for a water engineer, or waste pipe fitting engineer etc etc.

Like i said previously and my point still stands ANY GAS TECHNICIAN can work on water (or any Joe Public for that matter) however any water technician cannot work on gas, its the law im afraid!!

 

[nogoodatfaultfinding]

I aint putting no one down and as a matter of fact i stay as far away from wet works as i can because not only do i hate doing it im ****e at it.
But my point is the truth JIB CARD OR not

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

NVQ plumbers CANNOT work on gas

nor can nvq gas fitters
